Informally assess student learning and promote immediate individual responsibility for learning by requesting an exit pass. During closure, distribute index cards and direct students to explain a certain point or concept from the lesson, summarize the lesson, or formulate an answer to a question about the lesson. Explain that this card is the exit pass from class, then stand at the door and collect as students leave. As you collect the exit passes, take the opportunity to wish each student well until the next class session. Print the download form and require students to maintain entrance/exit passes in a section of their organized notebooks for quick and pointed reviews.
